The Ionia City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday to confirm the appointment of Janice Gustafson to represent the 4th Ward on the council.

The public is invited to attend the session, which will take place at 7:30 a.m. in the council chamber at city hall.

Mayor Dan Balice selected Gustafson, who lives on Morse Street in Ionia, to fill one of two 4th Ward vacancies on council. If her appointment is confirmed, Gustafson will serve a term expiring Dec. 31.

Gustafson works in the accounting department at Independent Bank, and is treasurer and chair of the finance committee for the Ionia Area Chamber of Commerce, said Ionia City Manager Jason Eppler.
